Well done to the three Mayo clubs, what a day for Mayo soccer, congrats again to all involved.
Well what a reply to our poor W/E in the Connaught Cup !!
Congrats to all Three teams I don't know which did the Best, The Port with their comeback, Celtic who were Two down or the Heane with their best players missing. Now we shall turn our attention to Mossy and his Manulla men who if they win will have surpassed the other clubs because Athrenry are the best team in Galway and Manulla lack good players with only T. Walsh being up to standard required. Needless to say the Muinteoir might make it difficult for Athrenry but even with 12 I can't see a Manulla Win.
Is their anyone going to the draw from the Mayo clubs ? or will El Duce represent them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done to the three Mayo clubs, what a day for Mayo soccer, congrats again to all involved.
ya well done to all Mayo teams..and to corrib im sure you'l do well next year ha ha...
Well boys, just like to add my congrats to all three teams that prevailed at the week end, and the game in Celtic Park, what a corker! (U18)Originally Posted by swinfordfc
Just one point, why are so many of US giving credence to the OPINION of one Sligo man(N.Kennedy), with regard to a basic Mayo rule?
I know its been a strange season (not over yet) but custom & practice for 10 years has been that players can transfer after the 31st dead line for external comp.
What has changed?
Is this confusion the best that Sligo has to offer?
Mabe the Fai/Fas course going to milebush and not to Sligo was the final nail?
Mabe we should all get behind our own rules(which are passed by the FAI!), and just go and retain the Junior cup
well lads, just found this website today so signed up,i know its early to start talking about next season but any idea roughly what month the season kicks off??
also, what are the best websites apart from this for the latest news,fixtures etc??
well done the mayo teams great results...good luck manulla this weekend...will celtic beat glenview on sunday....hope so.
Manfred you at the under 18 game, was at it too fine game celtic better technical side but bangor hibs have some heart, great game and the pens shoot out, well what can you say, one man (lad) lost his nerve, god luck to bangor in tipperary in januaryOriginally Posted by Manfred
If your talking Mayo then there's a quality site atOriginally Posted by gotribe
www.leaguerepublic.com - just search for 'Snu' and there's a results and fixtures service for the Mayo League. It can be a bit biased sometimes!(especially the reports on Snugboro games - is this anything to do with you Joe?)
Mayo Youths also have their own website. Don't know the web address.
I think Castlebar Celtic and Crossmolina have there own also, not too sure as I would'nt be found dead on them, ha ha!
www.soccerbot.com is also good for results and stats.
Biased? An independant observation more like! But yeah i'd be involved in that leaguerepublic site.

Custom and practice it may well be Manfred,but the rule makes no distinction between domestic and external competitions,''The deadline for ALL transfers shall be 31st July in any one season''Surely its time to rewrite the rule so that there can be no confusion.
An interesting aside,How many local Players are on the Fas course?
the rule is clear its 31st july for domestic competition.Fai and conn cup is suject to its rules 31st jan. as per rule 34states clearly its only the likes NK of sligo who has a problem of understanding it. it should not be confused with the C Kelly as this refered to domestic Competition. for him to play in external comms he needs to apply to FAI TO BE REINSTATED as per rule 41 and others of that same clubOriginally Posted by Le Grande Eric

Sorry Renovator but where does it say ''domestic competition'' in rule 34?Originally Posted by renovater
Elsewhere word is emerging from mayo League delegates meeting tonight where it appears one delegate walked out following an admonishment by Il Duce,Also u 21 team voted out by clubs present,but not without some controversary with Duce trying to cast the vote of another delegate who had departed ...
With regard to the Fai/Fas course, I belive there are 6 local (potential) players involved, but I'll stand corrected by any one with better knowledge of the course.Originally Posted by Le Grande Eric
Difficult to call it controversary, discussion leading to a vote sounds more like democracy at work. I belive the biggest talking point was the absense of so many clubs and personnel who had no problem with loose talk in the media, but did'nt have the nuts to turn up at a meeting and speak their minds. Still, who wants a higher grade of football to aspire to???Originally Posted by Le Grande Eric
Lads,
How will Castlebar Celtic and Manulla get on this coming weekend?
Any predictions?
I dont think anyone here thinks that Mayos U-21 team could beat the leagues top super league teams.Originally Posted by Manfred
Celtic win. It would be one of the best results of the year if Manulla can beat Athenry, but you never know in football.Originally Posted by swinfordfc
Castlebar should easily win, Glenview are not as strong as they were last year with 4 players defecting to Abbey United. They are also struggling in the league as well.Originally Posted by swinfordfc
Who are you referring to here ?. If it is the two ex league officers who had articles in the Mayp News ? Then I don't think that they could be there as it was a Chairman/Secretary meeting only and they do not hold these positions in their clubs. The fox has already mail shot clubs about the U 21 fiasco So his views are well know on the subject and the other fella just detests El Duce and who can blame him.Originally Posted by Manfred
Questions for anybody at meeting :
Did El Duce insult a delegate over his twitching ??
Did he patronise a lady delegate ?
Did he try and include a vote that had left the building ?
THIS IS OUR CHAIRMAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
FOR GOD'S SAKE GO NOW BEFORE HE IS REMEMBERED AS A COMPLETE FOOL IN OVER HIS HEAD
Its a shame the debacle the u21 mayo team has become. it was an undoubted mistake that players were forced to play for the mayo team instead of their home clubs that have put so much into the development of the player.
i remeber the mayo u21 team beating galway 6-0 in celtic park and also defeating derry city 2-0 at the same location about 2 years ago when fergie and lar were in charge. Mayo had players better in many positions than the afore mentioned teams, have their careers progressed as well?
the problem is that players wont travel to games a distance away such as derry. it is unrealistic to say that the players had the appetite to travel such a distance and play a team who were getting paid for their appearance. i feel that expenses should have been paid to players on such occassions. many lads would have had to take a day of work for instance.
well theres my two pence worth
